- Connection: Does it run smoothly on Wi-Fi or mobile data?
- Account: Can you sign in with the same account on your phone and computer?
- Cost: Is the game free?
What ChromeKO offers on a phone
- No app: The game opens from chromeko.com and runs full screen from a home-screen shortcut.
- Screen and connection: Hold the phone sideways. Wi-Fi or a good 4G or 5G connection decides how smooth play is.
- Account: The same account works on your phone and computer.
- Cost: Sign-up and play are free; the PUS Store is optional.
Adding the game to your home screen
Open chromeko.com in your phone's browser first, then add the shortcut:
- Android: In Chrome, open chromeko.com, tap the menu (three dots) and choose Add to Home screen.
- iPhone: In Safari, open chromeko.com, tap the Share button and choose Add to Home Screen.
- Tap the ChromeKO icon on your home screen. The game opens full screen.
- Press Play to enter. On the first start the game loads into the browser once, so keep the page open until it finishes.

Planning a short session on your phone
A good phone session starts with a small, clear goal. Before you enter, pick a quest that fits your level from the quest guide, mark its target in the Q list and check the maps for where the monsters are. When the session ends, pick the next quest the same way, so progress carries over from one short session to the next.
Short sessions also suit small parties. Form a party or join one, and everyone in it shares EXP; if your connection drops and you return within five minutes, you are put back in. For long, crowded hunts, a computer is more comfortable.
Phone or computer?
| Situation | Phone | Computer |
|---|---|---|
| Short session, following quests | Practical | Fine |
| Long, focused session | Harder | More comfortable |
| Maps and inventory work | Fine | More comfortable |
Choose by session length. You can use the same account on both.
Playing on a phone
The game needs an internet connection. Switching to another app can affect the connection, so avoid leaving the game for long stretches during a party hunt or a nation war. If the connection drops, check your internet first and then reopen the game. If you are in a party and return within five minutes, you are put back into it. Reloading the page can also disconnect you, so avoid it mid-hunt.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install an app?
No. Add chromeko.com to your home screen from Chrome or Safari.
Can I try it before I sign up?
Yes. Try it now as a guest and you start with a ready character.
Do I need Wi-Fi, or does mobile data work?
Both work. A steady Wi-Fi connection at home or at work usually gives the least interrupted play. On mobile data, play where the signal is strong, and if the game stutters, check your connection before you reload.
Is my character the same on my phone and computer?
Yes. Signing in with the same account on both devices gives you the same characters, so you can pick up where you left off on the other device.
Can I form a party on my phone?
Yes. Form a party or join one; everyone in it shares EXP. If your connection drops and you return within five minutes, you are put back into the party.
